Baroness Goldie has urged action against the ‘transgressors and culprits’ as the report into experiences for LGBT veterans exposed that there was still discrimination in the workplace.
Leading lawyer and independent crossbencher Lord Carlile of Berriew said: ‘Does the minister agree that the report should be seen as a paradigm across other sectors in both the public sector and the private sector, for example, in banking, where there is still discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, often fairly covert?’
‘My advice to anybody in those sectors is to call it out, expose it, shine a light on it and make sure that the miscreants, transgressors and culprits are all put into public view and dealt with appropriately.’ LGBT rights activist Lord Cashman, a former EastEnders actor and Labour MEP, commended Lord Etherton’s ‘deeply harrowing yet forensic report’.
Praising those who came forward to give testimony to the review, Labour frontbencher Lord Coaker said: ‘For those who have not read the report, it is horrific, with unscientific methods of investigation into individuals, prejudice, discrimination, bullying and harassment, and armed forces personnel having their medals, which were often given for gallantry, taken away.
